It was the winter of 1955 when the late Carl Perkins played a dance and noticed a couple dancing near the stage. The girl was gorgeous, he thought, and the boy wore blue suede shoes. As they danced the boy cautioned his date "don't step on my suedes." Perkins was bewildered that a guy would value shoes over a beautiful girl.
Later that night, Perkins was struck with an idea for a song based on that incident. He quickly grabbed a brown paper potato sack and wrote the song down, writing the title out as "Blue Swade, S-W-A-D-E". "I couldn't even spell it right," he has said. And this is the origin of the famous rock-n-roll tune, “Blue Suede Shoes".
Here at J&O not only do we carry the blue suede that made the shoes so popular, we carry over 50 tasty & colorful shades of ultrasuedes to bring your next project to life. From Creamy Coffee to Crocodile Brown, and every color in between, we are sure to have what you are looking for.
With this synthetic ultra-microfiber fabric, you don't have to worry while out on the dancefloor either. No spilled drink or clumsy foot will mess this fabric up. Our ultrasuede looks and feels like natural suede, but it is resistant to stains and discoloration. It can be machine washed, and because it is a non-woven fabric, it will not pull or fray. For our animal activists and vegetarians, it is also free from any animal products.
So go ahead and make those cute diva hand bags with fun solid colors like Bubblegum Pink and Lipstick Red. Create unique chair covers with our fashionable Ultra suede prints like Retro Square Cream and Circuit Natural. Use our ultrasuede for footwear, interior decorating, vehicle upholstery, and so much more. Whatever the stretch of your imagination, have fun and let your creative side go wild. And if you're really in the mood, add a new color to those blue suede shoes!

Occasionally, fabrics that are called classic are really just outdated, and fabrics qualified as "modern" may have overbearing designs. Unlike either of those possibilities, Bonetti Velvet Flock Linen is a fabric that both modern and classic in the best senses of those words.
Bonetti has a classic design in the sense of timeless elegance. It would be difficult to imagine a time when this design fabric would be considered anything less than beautiful. The timeless quality of Bonetti is also the key to understanding its modernity. This is a decorator fabric that - though it possess a classic design - can seemingly adapt to any fabric trends.
The very design of Bonetti is an intriguing combination of two very disparate elements: velvet and linen. While velvet has always been considered a sumptuous fabric of the highest order, linen has a decidedly more rustic appeal. Nevertheless, Bonetti successfully combines those qualities into one incredible fabric.
This most luxurious designer fabric is particularly suited to more formal areas of your home such as living rooms, dining rooms, studies, libraries and offices. However, it will look splendid in kitchens, family rooms and in other more casual surroundings. Furthermore, rather than detracting from your furniture Bonetti will accent and highlight it.
Bonetti Velvet Flock Linen is just one of the hundreds of decorative fabrics we carry on our online fabric store. There are many other fantastic fabrics that you can browse through in our Decorative Fabrics category. Here you will find some of the finest and most popular fabrics we carry. Regardless of what you are looking for you will find it here, from futuristic designs to the stateliest patterns.
